I would also like to join in this popularity contest.

1) sorry i should noted this before: not everything he wrote should be there. his opinion about you doesn't belong there. his opinion about the video does, so long as it's honest.

2) if by "okay", you mean justified, yes, if he honestly felt that way, then he is justified to give that opinion (of the video). if by "okay" you mean morally okay, then no his opinion is not morally okay.

well i agree, you shouldn't ignore something that's offensive to you. ask one of the mods to remove it (if you did i must have missed that thread). but people say mean things, and we (the other members of the org) are not here to shield you from them. otherwise i'm not sure what you're getting at.

Until I saw that, I figured it was just that reviews were not ever deleted, even if you asked them to be. Then I realized, no, some people make a post and have the review deleted the same day. So it's just a matter that I take homophobic attacks the same way other people take ignorant blabber and curse words.

I'm not popular enough to get all 1's in a hate review.

My deletion request was for animix because dozens of creators are involved in this AMV. Otherise I wouldn't care.
Also, I just asked if it was possible to have it deleted, but if it hadn't been deleted, I wouldn't have made big noise about it.

I don't think it has anything to do with the person asking, but more with the way you ask it, the profile of the guy/girl who made the bad review (for my complaint, the guy's reviews were all totally stupid apparently), and the free time the admins have at the moment they read the topic.

So well, please try not attack me too much for something I'm not responsible for

I wasn't attacking you. You can't help the way others treat you. I just used you as an example since you were the most recent member to openly ask for a deletion. And I know it was for Animix, that's what made it such a special request.

Maybe I've got a weird sense of pride, but due to the way that the site works, wouldn't an all 1s review imply that the video was so good to the viewer that they felt the need to put it down because they were being threatened?

Review deletions are just like a lot of things on the site - it's when we have time to do thing.

When I deleted the animix one it was because I discovered that a person had written a lot of inflamatory reviews with all 1s or mostly 1s. Generally if I see something and I have time I'll deal with it there and then.

If people want ops looked at they can PM me with the username of the person who left it and I can look at it but I'm really trying to put the finishing touches on the new guide at the moment so haven't had much time for admin.

P.S. I had never seen any talk of this review before, so I didn't know it was a problem.

If it is still a problem I can address it - although personally I find homophobic reviews worth their weight in humour. The homophobic reviews of "Boys" are some of my most cherished

Nah, I got rid of it this morning. I'm locking this thread because the topic for discussion is now gone.
